Mr Wcb-ter, from tlio cominitteo on Finance, made an able report, declaring, in substance, that the reasons assigned by tlio Secretary at tlio Treasury, fur tlio removal of tlio do-posits, were unsatisfactory. A motion was mado to print five tliousand copies of the Ileport. Mr Forsyth opposed printing this extra number. In the course of his remarks, ho said, the question before the Senate was "Hank or no Bank." Mr Man-gum, a member of the Finance coinmitteo, replied with some warmth, that he would not ponnit any gentleman to make that issue for him. That the real question before the Senate was "Law, or no Law." Mr Webster replied to Mr Forsyth, in torms yet more forcible Sir, said lie, the Senator from Georgia, says, that tlio com mitteo hove not treated the Secretary of tho Treasury fairly. That a . majority of tlio Senate, are for supporting thu Hank, against tho Executive. Thii it not true. For details, I refer you to his speech as reported. It will, however, afford you a very imperfect idea of his manner, which was more contemptuous than any thing I havo yet witnessed on the floor of the Senate. All oyea were placed upon Mr Forsyth. His countenance, I thought, exhibited despondency and disappointment. It certainly excited sympathy in the auditory. He was, as they aay in the West, literally "mtrf up." Five thou-and copies of the Ileport were ordered to be printed. Distinct from this heated skirmishing, the debato waa important in another point of view. The generals in chief, perhaps unintentionally, in some measure, unmarked their batteries. Mr Forsyth complained that tho committee on Finance, had not presented, with their Report, any specific resolution, requiring legislative action; no proposition for a law, or concurrent resolution, directing Ike return of the deposits to the Hank. Sir Webster, in reply, asked, in his sneering way, "does the gentleman from Georgia, think we are so green, as not to understand the subject!" &c. Let me now give you my view of this disnlnv of leirislativa iacici. which has been in nneratinn for ncvoral weeks. If the parties did not, at first, understand the movements of each other, they certainly do now, and there is no reason wiiy the people should be kept in tho dark. ISy tho charter of tho Hank, the Secretary ia authorized, for satisfactory reasons, to remove tlio deposits. Without these reasons, the law of the land requires, that the deposits shall remain in the Hank, and the reasons which influenced him, are to be given to Congress for approval or disapproval. If they ara satisfactory to Congress, (the Senate and House of Representatives) the act of the Secretary becomes legalized. If they aro unsalislaclory to Congress, (the Senate and Housoof Representatives), the act of the Secretary is a nullity, and the deposits, by the law of the land, as it now exists, must remain in the United States' Ilnnk. I presume, therefore, that tho friends of the Constitution, and tlio law, will do nothing more than declare, by their vote, that tho reasons of the Secretary of tho Treasury are not saliifaclorij. Having made that declaration, it remains to bo seen whether, in contempt of law, and in defi ance of Congress, he will dare so far to insult the oniony of the people, as to with' hold from the Treasury of the U. States, the public deposits, and to uso and place them when and where it suits his pleasure. When that case arises, if it ever docs, Congress will dotcrmino for themselves, on Vue measures nroner to bo adopted, and how far they can bo justified in voting for the annronnation of funds, already wrested from their hands, and over which they have no longer any control. Why should tho Senate vote an apnropriation ot money which the Secretary lias removed from the Treasury, and placed, Congress knows not where' which may be in ono Bank to-dayj in another to-morrow; and in tho breeches pocket of the Secretary tho third day! Tho asnect is alarmim?. It is a serious and solemn question, whether tho National Legislature ought nut to pause! Nothing will be done by tho Senato, without due deliberation. They will sustain the Constitution and the law", by a linn and unconquerable resistance to usurpation, come from what quarter it may. I have no doubt you have received, or will receive, through other channels, the result of tho intorviuw between the President, and the eommittetl af merchants from your city; yet, as matter of history, I am desirous of placing it on record, in these letters. In tho brief details I givo, you may nlaee imnlicil confidence The coinmitteo, accompanied by tjireo members of Congress, from tho city of N. iork, (.ur Gambrolong not auenuingi, waited on the President, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. After the accustomed courtesies, tho gubjMt of their mission was introduced. Tho President became animated; but perfectly respectful towards them as gentlemen, lie averred, most so lemnlv. that he never would consent to a return of tho deposits to the Hank of the United States. A iiionibor of Congress explained, that the memorial did not ask suck return. Ho declared, that ton tliousand Spanish inquisitions could not compel him ever to Burn a bill ro-iucoruorating the Hank of tho United States. "JMover will I aign such an act (said ho) while my name ii Anclrexa Jackton. It is a contest between the Hank and the liborty of . the world." On tlio question of a new Hank, ho ap peared equally decided; expressing his de termination to carry out, and persist in the plan he had commenced, through the - medium of the State B.inks, believing, as be did, that the fiscal concerns ol the conn' try could be thus managed. If that pro joct, contrary to his expectations, should fail, he intimated, that after the present charter of the United States' Bank had ex nired. he misht surrest some other mode. Un this point no waa not explicit, ana aia not Appear to have any definite idea, In reply to tho remarks which were mado, depicting the sufferings of the coun r try, he recommended the committee to apply to the Banks, as they, by enlarging their disoounts, could relievo tho money market, lie relorred. tcvorul times, with' warmth, to an expression of Mr Freling-huysen in debate, that Mr Diddle, the President of the Hank, 'sat at ease in his arm chair.". The excitement was not against Mr Frclinfdiuyscn for the' lunguago used, which he (General Jackson) considered correct; but against Mr Biddle, who was unmoved by tho denunciations of the lix- cxutivo and his friends; and who, as the head of tho Hank, was uninjured by all the efforts of the administration to break down that institution. Connected with this Presidential inter view, there is another scene which may be appropriately introduced here. Tho committee, the day after their arrival, requested a conference with Messrs Wright and Tallmadge, your Senators. During tho communication, Mr Wright said, "Gen tlemen, 1 wish to bo (rank with you. J am opposed to any United States' Bank, but if wo mti-t have a Hank, I do not want a commercial, but a political Hank." 1 lie length of this letter precludes com ment. I will only add, tlio knell of the reigning dynasty is now sounding throughout the land, its doleful peals. 1 un Spy in Washington. No. XXIX. Wahhincton, D. C.j Feb. 7, 1834. There will be no nomination of a district attorney, for your city, until late in March. lour citizens .nave made strong representations hero, against the appointment of an Albany gentleman. They claim that a person resident in the city shall bo selected. The President thinks this view ol'lho case entitlod to consideration. The Kitchen Cabinet arc embarrassed. A high and distinguished public functionary is certain ly looking ono way and rowing another. The candidates (for there aro more than one) who expect his support, will have their eyes opened in duo season. Your members ot Congress (I mean a ma only) aro committed for Mr Tallmadge. If they adhere to that committal, the result is uncertain. A gallant officer ol'lho late army. it iB mid, is also a candidate. If so, the sympathies of the President, as a brother soldier, will probably bo in his favor. In my last letter, I gave you an account of the interview between the President and your committee of merchants; and I alluded to Mr Wright's suggestion, that "if wo must navo a bank, lie wished n politi cal, and not a commercial Bank. Tho importanco of this remark is greatly in creased, when you recollect the position in w 1 1 1 c 1 1 that gentleman now stands, lie has long been known as tho confidential friend and adviser of tho Vice President. lie is now the onran of tho Executive in the Senato, and lauded by tho President, as being entitled to a ".'old medal." for the manner in which ho diBchargos his Senatorial duties Thus supported his opinions, so far as they opply to the F.xeculivo, may be considered oracitltr. Mr Wright is a sagacious and sensible man. He know; what construction will be put upon his lan guage. It has not been used by him without duo reflection, or unadvisedly. There is, then, no doubt tlio administration intends to employ the Built or Hanks as "po litical, anu not as commercial ' agents. Mr tVrirrlit has avowed, on tho floor of mo senate, his entire approbation-of, and his determination to support, the plan of the Secretary of tho Treasury, in reference to tho Slalo Banks. And why! The answer is to bo found in the remark he made to your committee of merchants because ho wishes them to bo used ns "political and not commercial Banks." This then, may bo com-idercd as an oilicial annunciation in the face of the American people. It presents an aspect well calculated to alarm the stoutest friend of tho Constitution, the laws, and tho happiness of this, our late prosperous and growing country. If our mechanics, our artisans, and our day laborers, aro to be robbed of their employment, f"T the purpose of destroying a commercial, and establishing a political Hanking system, deplorable ore their future rtrospect. Is it to be tolerated, in this land of freedom, that politicians, for the purposo of porpotuating thoir power, shall trample in dust and ashes, the bono and muscle of tho nation! That office holders (fed by tho tax paying citizen) to secure their places, shall ruin the trade, and blast the hopes of the young and enterprising mccnanic; snail scatter belorctho winds ol Heaven, the small savings of years ol economy and industry! 1 hone not shrink, however, from the lowering tempest which is gathering, and which can only bn averted by the onorgy of tlio people. Will that energy slumber! Or will tho people, by a magnanimous effort, rescue themselves and their families from threatened misery and stnrvationl Yesterday a usb-cnmmittee of your mer chants had an interview with the Vice President. It was their wish to ascertain, whether nuy aid, in the promotion of tho object of the mission, could be cxpoctcd from lii in. His remarks were guarded and wary. Ho, however, made them under stand the fact, that they had nothing to hope Irom tho administration, until the expiration of tho United Status' Bmk cliartor. Thus, then, your citizens may prepare their ininils for a scene of ruin, such as the oldest of them have nover witnessed. You will behold industrious mechanics, com fortable to day to morrow plunged into tlio depths ot misery and distress, ion. will behold tho pampered olfico holder, strutting through your streets, revelling and rioting upon the spoils of tho Troa-sury. You will hear him scoff at tho sufferings of tho poonlo.and insolently calling upon them to bo patient, and to pay thuir taxes that he may feed and liitton upon tho money thus wrung Irom them, and their holpless littlo ones, llieso scones, and others more appalling, tho administration seem determined to present to your view Iiir BPV in Washington. No. XXX. Washinoton, D. C. Feb. 9, 183-1. You have seen a suggestion in some ol the newspapers, that Congress should pass the appropriation bills, and then to home. But even with that formality the President and Secretary of the Treasury might dis pense. They hold the money. Why not use h, wiujoui an apprupnuwunr uuy rest have no control over it. Suppose they wars to order it placed in the U. States' Hank, would not the President disobey the order? He certainly would. What fully, thon, for them to talk of controlling or ap propriating it. Hut there is more in the sug- B0"""" upu ' going nome, u... mecis 1119 0TB- "uum uim, "' to inform you that the Kitchen Cabinet have a scheme for shortening the session, iou will guess where it originated, when I state the project. By the Constitution, the President may prorogue Conirress, when the two Mouses cannot agree on the day of sojournment. wow, those silly loons are alarmed at the accounts they daily receive, and, therefore, wish an adjournment at as early a day as possible, and intend, if they can, to have the appropriation bills pasted, and then, while they yet have a majority, to get the House to fix a day of adjournment; and if tho Senato disagree, let Gen. Jackson exercise his kingly prerogative of prorogation. Such is the project. The President may, or may not, be ignorant of it. It cannot succeod. The tools of pow-may deny this statement; but it is truo. I give you, what I am not in the habit of giving, an on dit, without having direct authority for its correctness; but I believe it to bo true. It is said that a Western gentleman, in a conversation with the President, remarked "General, I fear your Cabinet does not afford you a suitable support." Ho replied, "No; thoreis Woodbury, he thinks of nothing but taking care of himself. Ho is dead weight upon me, And as to McLane and Cass, they would rather embarrass than promote my operations." "But why don'l you remove them?" It would not answer, at present, said he; and l hoy will not resign, for I have hinted it to them." I repeat this rumor, because I beliovo it, and because I know it has been repeated to ono, and probably to all three of the Secretaries named. Of this fact you may rest assured, the President and the Cabinet irresponsible, r deadly hostile to the Cabinet responsible. If the times were not as portentous as they really are, there would be a complete breaking up. Situated, however, as the party is, they dare not move. They aro losing ground, (and they know it,) not only here, but throughout the nation. Before this session closes, the Executive will be in a minority in both branches of Congress. They commenced the session with a party majority of from fifty-five to sixty, in the House of Representatives. Where are they now? They have a majority, sometimes, of from ten to fifteen, and frequently are defeated. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer ( Mr Polk) will bear mo out in mis remark. In my letter of the 30th ult. I stated the Vice President had suggested, that the House of Representatives should continue the discussion on the deposit question, not only all day, but in the evenings also. The attempt has been unsuccessfully mado. No debate in Congress, sinco the adoption of the constitution, has been so disastrous to a party as the pending debato to the usurpers of power, and the oppressors of the community. These discussions are revolutionizing tho whole nation. We aro a reading and a thinking people. Cut a few months since wo wore tranquil. We were prosperous. Our land was a land flowing with milk and honey. Our mechanics and laborers found constant employment. In the bosom of their families they enjiyed the fruits of their industry . Comfort and abundance were the blessings which a kind Providence showered down upon them, But, "happiness unalloyed belongs not to man." VVhat is now the picture that might bo drawn? What has produced this sad reverse in the concerns of our country and the enjoyments of our people? It is the gripe (like the gripe of death) of the office holder. The fear of losing place, and power, and emolument, has covered the land with distress and misery. All feel the difficulties which surround us, but the of fice-holder. He battens upon the Treasury and revels on the spoils of the pcoplo. Mark his swagger as he pssses tho unemployed lax payer, who feeds and supports him. I will not delineate the accne. My soul sickens at the' thought. Tub Spy in Washinoton. No. XXXI. Washinoton, D.C., Feb. 12, 1834. Monday, the Senate was engaged lor about three hours on Executive business. The case of the Government Directors of tho United States' Dank was again taken up, but no decision had thoreon. In consequence of the sudden death of Judiro Boul- din of tho House, who will be interred tomorrow, the business of tho Scr.ato was suspended. But for this circumstance, I think the final question on theso directors would have been taken, and thoir nomina tion rejected. The Philadelphia committee, yesterday had an interview with the President. Ho took precisely the same ground he had ta ken with the JN. York committee of .nor chants. Ho talked of "Spanish inquisi lions: threatened to fly to "the deserts of Arabia;' declared that Mr llidille, in war with fio Government, should "have the knife up to tho handle," &c. He said, that tho Bank could, il it chose, extend its loans twenty-five millions of dollars. That it was his settled determination to establish a currency consisting of State Bank notes. That if this experiment failed, he would havo nothing but specie. The Baltimore Committee was with the President to-day, end received precisely the same answer. There is, However, much fluttering in the ranks of his adherents; and they aro only kept together, in the House, hv the "parly organization according to the Now York school." it cannot last, t he treason in the ranks of the Kitchen Cabinet is so general, that they dare not trust each other. At present, however, I see no relief for the community. But tho voice of the peoplo is hoard, and is producing anedect, Felix trembles on his throne. Tho Socretary of the Treasury has be fore him a statement of tho affairs ol the Bank up to the 1st instant. It is, to him, and Kendall & Co. as wormwood and gall. To the stockholders of that institution it pro-sonls a must cheering and gratifying viow. Its circulation was greater on the 1st of February inst., than on tlio 1st ol January last. Presont circulation, 10,G:,000 Total doposils, 10,030,000 Duo by Slate Hanks, 3,2iu,U00 Funds in Europe, l,5,r0,lHH Specie in vaults, 10,540,000 15,390,000 14,01)0,01)0 Thus it appears, that tha circulation of the Bank, notwithstanding tha pressure ot the times, continues to grow larger. The local Banks are falling in its debt. They now owe it throo millions two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Il is the only institution in the nation in which public confidence not only remains undiminished, but has increased. It is the only institution that can withstand the shock that is rapidly approaching. Let those who are interested in the result prepare to meol the tempest. The Srr in Washinoton. No. XXXII. Washinoton, D. C. Feb. 14, 1831. "Qnem Deus vult perdere prim demenlnt.'' The Committoo of Mechanics and Citi zens from your city, have done themselves great honor. They called upon the President, this morning, unaccompanied by mem- Dors oi congress. The scene was such as I anticipated, if thov dared to perform their duty. They were received in an uncourte-ous manner. They introduced each other to Gen. Jackson. After tho ceremony he sat down, and commenced signing papers, without further notice of them. Having completed that business, ho broke open a letter and read it. He had broken open a second letter, ond wos about to read it, when hey addressed him and referred to the ob ject of their mission. Ho soon beenmo ex- citod, and told them lo apply to JVicholus Middle. They replied, that Mr Biddle said, ho was acting in conformity with Genoral Jackson's recommendations to wind up the nunK. ite uemanded, vohemontly, "did I recomnend to him to withdraw thSrla. five million of dollars from the valley of me Mississippi? Did I recommend to hnn to corrupt the morals of the people? What do you come to me for? I have already had visits from one, two, lime, fiat, and you are tho eighth cominitteo. Am I to be pestered in this woy by coinmitteo after committee calling upon me?" They attempted to reason with him, and to explain the sufferings of their fellow mechanics, as well as the cause of those sufferings. They endeavored respectfully, to show him mat ne Had not acted in conlormity with tho law of the land. At lenglli lie became so infuriated, that they left him. During the interview, several gentlomen came in, and remained. I have reason to believe that this Committee will present a detailed report of the whole scene. If they do, it cannot fail to elevate them, and those whom they represent, in tho estimation of every independent man in our country. Whether such a report will add to the fame of Gen. Jackson, or be reputable to our national character, is a questionable matter. It is, however, their duty to give a true and faithful account of their stew ardship. lho Honorable, and not less honorable than bland and courfcouj Mr Forsyth said, in me Donate to-day, that these petitions were signed by "drunken, pot-house politicians." Thus much for petitioning. I will add, for the benefit of Mr Forsyth, that few, or none of them, are paupers, living upon Treasury pap, without which they would become "miserable" starvelings. It is impossible to depict the deep anxiety which pervades every clan of society throughout the nation. This city in now a common foens, where center the pe ilions, tne prayers and groans ot a sultering people. Washington is crowded with strangers from every quarter. All utter their com plaints. Some in half smothered tones of despondency. Others in curses and imprecations loud and long. The mails are weighed down with letters, detailing tho scenes of ruin, by which the writers are surrounded on every side. The minions of power havo no longer tho hardihood to deny thrt there s on unprecedented pressure up in the mo noy market ; and that we are threatened w ith universal bankruptcy. From the pinnacle of peaceful prosperity, tho usurpers have thrown our people into a state ot distrac Hon; they have uprooted the currency of the country, and presented to our industri ous mechanics, artisans, and laborers, the prospect of idleness, and its alarming concomitants, want and misery. our loiiow citizens continue lo cry aloud from the hill tops and tho valleys. Let them assemble in their towns and their counties. Lot them send hither their re solutions, expressed in firm but respectful language. Let them be borne by commit toes. Locking arms, let Ihem stand shoulder to shoulder to meet the shock. At the altar of their violated constitution, let them surrender those party foclings, which loo oitcn separate the purest and most patriotic men. In tho hour of poril and danger, uniting as a "band of brothers," let them resolve to sustain in power none but such as are willing to restore tranquility to the country, and employment to tlio industrious and enterprising. Efforts, like these, may yet rescue us from impending destruc tion, l ho conspirators are appalled. Con sternation reigns in the Kitchen Cabinet. .il any upright and honorable men in Congress have paused. TJiey have supported the administration from the best motive. Th"y have been mistaken in the effect which the removal of tho deposits was cal culated to produce, and thoy are now dis posed to examine the real situation of tho country, before they take another step. The pride of opinion is difficult lo overcount. But there are yet hopes, if the pco plo riso en masse, and snnounco their do. termination not to submit to the doctrines of "passive obedienco and nun resistance." Almost daily 1 receive new ovidouco of the fact, that this nation will not much longer be governed by an irresponsible Cabinet of hungry oifice holders and expectants. There is, at this moment, a decided, if not a large majority, in Congress, that condemns tho removal of the deposits. But many of them fool committed by their former acts; and others, as those of your Stalo, aro pledged to support every measure ol the Executive, right or wrong. Circumstances liko those, prevent Un) parly from being rent in twain. How long will these men be thus bound together? Mow long will they, unmoved, witness tho suf ferings of a much abused people? Theso aro interesting questions. They should be toarlcssly answered. The patriotic and the honest aro faulteriug. The sellish and mercenary will cling to the Exccutivo, un til the voice of tho people shall nnko them tremble for their places and no longer. Again then, I say, lot that voico bo heard in this cily, ns tho only hope of relief du ring tho existenco of tho presont adininis tration. That honorable members of Congress, in the ranks of the Jackson party, becoming disgusted with those who have, and who yet control the destinies of the nation is within my knowledge. I could give you a dozen anecdotes illustrative of this o l. Lot one lutuoe. A tew evening since, several gentlemen, at the lodgings of a distinguished member, on Pennsylvania Avenue, held a general conversation in ref erence to men and measures, and the as pect of public affairs. Said one of them 1 am unable to imagino how Mr Van Un ren over acquired the tillo of Musician," &c. Another replied "Nor am 1; he has brought upon us dilhculties from which we can never escape, and which threatens ruin to the whole of us;" and then followed denunciations nnd anathemas against Iho magician. I think I may venture to say, that both Speaker Stevenson and the honorable Mr Speight, of North Carolina, must have heard rumors of such a conver sation. I slato it to you, for the purpose of showing the feelings that pervade the oosoms ot what is considered tho most orthodox among the orthodox. The Srr ir Washington. No. XXKI1I. Washinoton, D.

To do this un- derstundingly, I must make soiuo prelimi nary remarks. I rom an intimate mid perfect knowledge of tlio character of lien. Juckson, and of those by whom he ia sur rounded and influenced, hazard but lit tle iu saying, that he never has had, or never can or will hnve a Cabinet, composed of bigh-miudvd and honorable men, with whom ho can remain ut pence nx months. Why not) Uecniisc, he is under the control of the most violent passions, equalled only by bis puerile and unbounded vanity. Because, his prejudices aro ungovernable, and easily called into action, by fawning, uud llattcry, and sycophancy. Dccnusc, hit Ca binet irresponsible is composed of profligato and sellish characters, who know his weak ness; and ministering to his vanity, lake advantage of the feebleness of ago, nnd tbat imbecility which has been produceil by time, in its steady and certain course; mul because, Ihese pumlcn and cormorants, us long us they continue to hold power, will, through the medium of their nightly visits at the palace, "stub under the nllh rib," every independent nnd upright counsellor, that attempts, with more than ordinary zeal, to rescue tha l'rosidont from impending ruin ; or to frcu him from those toils which have been thrown around him, by bad and wicked men. The history of the pas', affords nu unerring guido as to what may be anticipated iu future. Secretary alter Secretary bus been Iriven from the Cabinet by the unseen ma- gic of intrigants. These Secretaries could preserve their stations only by a sacrifice ul their integrity mid their principles. In their retirement, they have been pursued in a most malignant nnd remorseless manner. Thcirgood name and their reputation black ened and tarnished by the corrupt hirelings ol more corrupt managers. Will Mr M'Lune resign! In reply, after the picture I have drawn, may I not ink how can he remain in the Cabinet I 'Unit he will resign, if ho is not expelled, I con sider certain. But the period of time is uncertain. It may not take place fur six mouths ; it may take place in u week. Let me suppose n ouso. In my letter of the 3d of December last, I stated that Mr Tuney hnd called on tho President with a list of Stnto Banks, and said, "Sir, here is a list ol Banks, iu which Mr Kendall says wo had hotter deposit the public money." Now, whenever it shall be required of .Mr M'Lnne, to carry n message, in reference to too ma nagement of bis own department, from Mr Kendall to tho President, ha will resign. Whenever it shall bo expected of the Se cretary of Slate, so far lo degrndo himself and tho high station which he holds, us to iibey the instructions of Mr Kendall, ho will resign, thus, thon, in my opinion, his re signation will depend upon the quantum of indignity that is attempted to be heaped upon him. And I repeat what I have said n a former letter, that in the present state of the party, thoy dnro not dismiss him I and are unprepared to render thuir indignities in gross that ho can no longer remain. Of Governor Cats I sny nothing, bee a uso his lay willcouio after Mr M'Lauo't. In respect lo Mr Hives, 1 have lining loiihts. I do not bolievn that he will obey his instructions; because Hint would forever blast his hopes nnd prospects with the Pre sident. I do not believo he will resign, (and yet he may,) because, by creating n vacancy in tho Senato, he would render it certain that hit successor would bu tlliti-Jackson, or rather anti-Van Duren; and that would offend the Exeoutive, and mor tify tho Vice l'rosidont, who wi'hcs to bear nothing moro from Virgimii tint semen. On the whole, I am ns skeptical now, about immediate changes in tho Cabinet, at I havo long been about Mr Stevenson going to I'.nghiud, or the Hon. Mr Sutherland ever yet ever, being Speaker of the llou'O ol Itnpreseutnlives. lly these remarks 1 urn not to be understood ul believing that the Cabinet call ho kept together, Not to. Mr Tuney il the only member of it for whom tho President hat the leat retpect, lie will hurl tha others Irom their louts, il they do not resign, ut loon us his advisers recommend tha measure. Nothing hut fear prevents ill being dono to-morrow. The Judiciary committee ul the Somite, I am informed, hnve agreed upon it report oil the message from the President, respect ing tho U.mk't refuting to surrender the puimuii fund. That oomiuilteo coutiilt of live able luwyori. Thoy have made u critical exaniiuation of all the legal poiuti in the case; and have gone at great length, into ill details. It is laid that they are unanimously of the opinion, that thu Bank bai aoted U cqn,foroiity with the iasy. Thu report will, probably, be presented to the nciiatc, on Weduoiilny or ihursday. It ii with pain that I closo this letter by stating, that Mr Wirt is extremely ill, and not expected to live. The Srr m Washington. No. XXXIV. Washington, D. C Feb. 19, 1831. After much drilling, the dominant party havo succeeded, by a majority of fuur votes, in bringing into operation the "-gag lata.' That succc s, however, is not unalloyed It presents a viow of their power and inllii ence in the House, of an alarming character. It proves that they have lost nearly the whole of their late overwhelming majority ; nt least so lar as it respects their "organization according to the New York School." And however much they may exult, on the vote of reference, you may rest assured that tho Kitchen Cabinet feel tint they have been defeated. The House consists of two hundred and forty members. There nre five vacancies, viz: two in Massachusetts, ono in Louisiana, one in Virginia, and one in Kentucky. There were six absentees, viz: Mr Camp bell of South Carolina, Air Stuart and Mr Anthony of Pennsylvania,' Mr Loo of New Jorsoy, Mr Ellsworth of Conneticut, and Mr Hates ol .Massachusetts. Had the va cancies been filled, and all present, ten of the eleven w.iuld havo voted against the previous question, and one for it: conse quently, the veto would havo been ayes, 1 17, noes 1'-'-'. 1 bus, instead ol an administration majority uffour, there would have been an anti-administration majority on this quostion, of five. The politic il diameter of tho absentees is a commentary on the drill system. Un all trying questions, the drill sergeants aro on the scout, and I lie troops aro all brought up to the vote. Not so with the opposition. Whatovor maybe the number of absentees on a party vote, you must always calculate at least two ol theirs to one of tho administration parly. I regret to notico the proceedings of yes terday, in another point of view. Hut 1 havo heard so much said on the subject, and Btich general dissatisfaction expressed, respecting the conduct ot the Speaker, that I feel it to bo my duty to notice it. Fur several days past, it was known that Tues day was hxed upon as a day to call the previous question, It was, thcrclore known, that a great elfort would be made, by thoso who wish to speak, to obtain the floor. At ono o'clock the chair announced that the House would proceod to the order of the day; whereupon, ten or more gentlemen arose. Tho Spcakor, without staling the pending question to tho House, decided that Mr .iluhlcnbiirg was entitled to the floor. INow, this precipitate decision, combined with o- llier circumstances, has led many to tlio conclusion, that the Speaker was advised that Mr Muhlciibiirg would movo the previous question; and that knowing this fact, he had entered into an arrangement with his political friends, to givo tho ttoor to this gentleman, for the express purpose ot having him make that motion. Whether there is any foundation for this opinion I know not. It is abroad, howovcr, and gaining ground. I hopo il may be contradicted by Mr Stevenson. ' If it is unfounded, ho owes it lo his own character, to say that it is unfounded. A itatoincnt from him, declaring that ho had no knowledge that the previous question was lo be moved; or if ho hail, that he entertained no suspicion that Mr Muhlcnburg was to make tho motion; will be confided in, and ho will thus shield himself from a charge of gross partiality. You will perceive, that if tho suggestions against .Mr Stevenson are well founded, ho has sacrificed his independence and hi impartiality, as the presiding officer of.tho House ol llcprueentatives. Il ho can bo induced, for political purposes, toenter into an intrigue, as Speaker, to deprive his opponents of the chanco of speaking, on a great and important niiestiou, what security havo they, or tho House, that he may not pursue the same policy on every occasion, and thus pervert, il not prostitute, tlio lugii station which he holds, to tho worst ol purposes! I am unwilling to credit theso auspicious; but silcnco on the part of Mr Stevenson, will confirm many in the opinion that they are correct. It will altord mo great pleas ure to aid in freeing him Irom imputation. I will not, however, permit the subject tu rest. In due season 1 will notice n again. On referring the letter of tho Secretary of tho Treasury to tha committee of Way and Means, thuro was a majority of thirty-two, and some of tho ignorant and credulous, pretend to consider this a test of tho strength of tho party, on Ihe removal of tho deposits. This is not truo. Hut let it be admitted that this is a true test, and thon thoy will receivo such evidence, on the final vote, of a loss uf strength, as will astound them. The committee of Ways and .Means will report a resolution approving ol'lho re moval of tho public deposits, Will there bo a majority of thirty -two in favor of that resolution! No; nor ten. n my lottor of thu 3Slh of Docoinber last, 1 said 1 havo herololoro Biipposeu, and ao slated, that tlio House of llotiroscn tatives would sustain the President, in tho removal of the deposits, by a majority ot at least twenty-uvui. but 1 am compelled lo change my opinion. The dissatisfaction in thu ranks of the administration parly, is extending itself so rapidly, that I do not believe, on tha final vole, the majority will exceed ten or twelve. This estimate wus mado, of course, upon a full House; and I am now prepurcu to repeat, wnu enure confidence, tlio opinion above expressed, nearly two mouths since. HIS Bl'V IN V ASIUNOTON.

Mr Wcb-ter, from tlio cominitteo on Finance, made an able report, declaring, in substance, that the reasons assigned by tlio Secretary at tlio Treasury, fur tlio removal of tlio do-posits, were unsatisfactory. A motion was mado to print five tliousand copies of the Ileport. Mr Forsyth opposed printing this extra number. In the course of his remarks, ho said, the question before the Senate was "Hank or no Bank." Mr Man-gum, a member of the Finance coinmitteo, replied with some warmth, that he would not ponnit any gentleman to make that issue for him. That the real question before the Senate was "Law, or no Law." Mr Webster replied to Mr Forsyth, in torms yet more forcible Sir, said lie, the Senator from Georgia, says, that tlio com mitteo hove not treated the Secretary of tho Treasury fairly. That a . majority of tlio Senate, are for supporting thu Hank, against tho Executive. Thii it not true. For details, I refer you to his speech as reported. It will, however, afford you a very imperfect idea of his manner, which was more contemptuous than any thing I havo yet witnessed on the floor of the Senate. All oyea were placed upon Mr Forsyth. His countenance, I thought, exhibited despondency and disappointment. It certainly excited sympathy in the auditory. He was, as they aay in the West, literally "mtrf up." Five thou-and copies of the Ileport were ordered to be printed. Distinct from this heated skirmishing, the debato waa important in another point of view. The generals in chief, perhaps unintentionally, in some measure, unmarked their batteries. Mr Forsyth complained that tho committee on Finance, had not presented, with their Report, any specific resolution, requiring legislative action; no proposition for a law, or concurrent resolution, directing Ike return of the deposits to the Hank. Sir Webster, in reply, asked, in his sneering way, "does the gentleman from Georgia, think we are so green, as not to understand the subject!" &c. Let me now give you my view of this disnlnv of leirislativa iacici. which has been in nneratinn for ncvoral weeks. If the parties did not, at first, understand the movements of each other, they certainly do now, and there is no reason wiiy the people should be kept in tho dark. ISy tho charter of tho Hank, the Secretary ia authorized, for satisfactory reasons, to remove tlio deposits. Without these reasons, the law of the land requires, that the deposits shall remain in the Hank, and the reasons which influenced him, are to be given to Congress for approval or disapproval. If they ara satisfactory to Congress, (the Senate and House of Representatives) the act of the Secretary becomes legalized. If they aro unsalislaclory to Congress, (the Senate and Housoof Representatives), the act of the Secretary is a nullity, and the deposits, by the law of the land, as it now exists, must remain in the United States' Ilnnk. I presume, therefore, that tho friends of the Constitution, and tlio law, will do nothing more than declare, by their vote, that tho reasons of the Secretary of tho Treasury are not saliifaclorij. Having made that declaration, it remains to bo seen whether, in contempt of law, and in defi ance of Congress, he will dare so far to insult the oniony of the people, as to with' hold from the Treasury of the U. States, the public deposits, and to uso and place them when and where it suits his pleasure. When that case arises, if it ever docs, Congress will dotcrmino for themselves, on Vue measures nroner to bo adopted, and how far they can bo justified in voting for the annronnation of funds, already wrested from their hands, and over which they have no longer any control. Why should tho Senate vote an apnropriation ot money which the Secretary lias removed from the Treasury, and placed, Congress knows not where' which may be in ono Bank to-dayj in another to-morrow; and in tho breeches pocket of the Secretary tho third day! Tho asnect is alarmim?. It is a serious and solemn question, whether tho National Legislature ought nut to pause! Nothing will be done by tho Senato, without due deliberation. They will sustain the Constitution and the law", by a linn and unconquerable resistance to usurpation, come from what quarter it may. I have no doubt you have received, or will receive, through other channels, the result of tho intorviuw between the President, and the eommittetl af merchants from your city; yet, as matter of history, I am desirous of placing it on record, in these letters. In tho brief details I givo, you may nlaee imnlicil confidence The coinmitteo, accompanied by tjireo members of Congress, from tho city of N. iork, (.ur Gambrolong not auenuingi, waited on the President, at ten o'clock yesterday morning. After the accustomed courtesies, tho gubjMt of their mission was introduced. Tho President became animated; but perfectly respectful towards them as gentlemen, lie averred, most so lemnlv. that he never would consent to a return of tho deposits to the Hank of the United States. A iiionibor of Congress explained, that the memorial did not ask suck return. Ho declared, that ton tliousand Spanish inquisitions could not compel him ever to Burn a bill ro-iucoruorating the Hank of tho United States. "JMover will I aign such an act (said ho) while my name ii Anclrexa Jackton. It is a contest between the Hank and the liborty of . the world." On tlio question of a new Hank, ho ap peared equally decided; expressing his de termination to carry out, and persist in the plan he had commenced, through the - medium of the State B.inks, believing, as be did, that the fiscal concerns ol the conn' try could be thus managed. If that pro joct, contrary to his expectations, should fail, he intimated, that after the present charter of the United States' Bank had ex nired. he misht surrest some other mode. Un this point no waa not explicit, ana aia not Appear to have any definite idea, In reply to tho remarks which were mado, depicting the sufferings of the coun r try, he recommended the committee to apply to the Banks, as they, by enlarging their disoounts, could relievo tho money market, lie relorred. tcvorul times, with' warmth, to an expression of Mr Freling-huysen in debate, that Mr Diddle, the President of the Hank, 'sat at ease in his arm chair.". The excitement was not against Mr Frclinfdiuyscn for the' lunguago used, which he (General Jackson) considered correct; but against Mr Biddle, who was unmoved by tho denunciations of the lix- cxutivo and his friends; and who, as the head of tho Hank, was uninjured by all the efforts of the administration to break down that institution. Connected with this Presidential inter view, there is another scene which may be appropriately introduced here. Tho committee, the day after their arrival, requested a conference with Messrs Wright and Tallmadge, your Senators. During tho communication, Mr Wright said, "Gen tlemen, 1 wish to bo (rank with you. J am opposed to any United States' Bank, but if wo mti-t have a Hank, I do not want a commercial, but a political Hank." 1 lie length of this letter precludes com ment. I will only add, tlio knell of the reigning dynasty is now sounding throughout the land, its doleful peals. 1 un Spy in Washington. No. XXIX. Wahhincton, D. C.j Feb. 7, 1834. There will be no nomination of a district attorney, for your city, until late in March. lour citizens .nave made strong representations hero, against the appointment of an Albany gentleman. They claim that a person resident in the city shall bo selected. The President thinks this view ol'lho case entitlod to consideration. The Kitchen Cabinet arc embarrassed. A high and distinguished public functionary is certain ly looking ono way and rowing another. The candidates (for there aro more than one) who expect his support, will have their eyes opened in duo season. Your members ot Congress (I mean a ma only) aro committed for Mr Tallmadge. If they adhere to that committal, the result is uncertain. A gallant officer ol'lho late army. it iB mid, is also a candidate. If so, the sympathies of the President, as a brother soldier, will probably bo in his favor. In my last letter, I gave you an account of the interview between the President and your committee of merchants; and I alluded to Mr Wright's suggestion, that "if wo must navo a bank, lie wished n politi cal, and not a commercial Bank. Tho importanco of this remark is greatly in creased, when you recollect the position in w 1 1 1 c 1 1 that gentleman now stands, lie has long been known as tho confidential friend and adviser of tho Vice President. lie is now the onran of tho Executive in the Senato, and lauded by tho President, as being entitled to a ".'old medal." for the manner in which ho diBchargos his Senatorial duties Thus supported his opinions, so far as they opply to the F.xeculivo, may be considered oracitltr. Mr Wright is a sagacious and sensible man. He know; what construction will be put upon his lan guage. It has not been used by him without duo reflection, or unadvisedly. There is, then, no doubt tlio administration intends to employ the Built or Hanks as "po litical, anu not as commercial ' agents. Mr tVrirrlit has avowed, on tho floor of mo senate, his entire approbation-of, and his determination to support, the plan of the Secretary of tho Treasury, in reference to tho Slalo Banks. And why! The answer is to bo found in the remark he made to your committee of merchants because ho wishes them to bo used ns "political and not commercial Banks." This then, may bo com-idercd as an oilicial annunciation in the face of the American people. It presents an aspect well calculated to alarm the stoutest friend of tho Constitution, the laws, and tho happiness of this, our late prosperous and growing country. If our mechanics, our artisans, and our day laborers, aro to be robbed of their employment, f"T the purpose of destroying a commercial, and establishing a political Hanking system, deplorable ore their future rtrospect. Is it to be tolerated, in this land of freedom, that politicians, for the purposo of porpotuating thoir power, shall trample in dust and ashes, the bono and muscle of tho nation! That office holders (fed by tho tax paying citizen) to secure their places, shall ruin the trade, and blast the hopes of the young and enterprising mccnanic; snail scatter belorctho winds ol Heaven, the small savings of years ol economy and industry! 1 hone not shrink, however, from the lowering tempest which is gathering, and which can only bn averted by the onorgy of tlio people. Will that energy slumber! Or will tho people, by a magnanimous effort, rescue themselves and their families from threatened misery and stnrvationl Yesterday a usb-cnmmittee of your mer chants had an interview with the Vice President. It was their wish to ascertain, whether nuy aid, in the promotion of tho object of the mission, could be cxpoctcd from lii in. His remarks were guarded and wary. Ho, however, made them under stand the fact, that they had nothing to hope Irom tho administration, until the expiration of tho United Status' Bmk cliartor. Thus, then, your citizens may prepare their ininils for a scene of ruin, such as the oldest of them have nover witnessed. You will behold industrious mechanics, com fortable to day to morrow plunged into tlio depths ot misery and distress, ion. will behold tho pampered olfico holder, strutting through your streets, revelling and rioting upon the spoils of tho Troa-sury. You will hear him scoff at tho sufferings of tho poonlo.and insolently calling upon them to bo patient, and to pay thuir taxes that he may feed and liitton upon tho money thus wrung Irom them, and their holpless littlo ones, llieso scones, and others more appalling, tho administration seem determined to present to your view Iiir BPV in Washington. No. XXX. Washinoton, D. C. Feb. 9, 183-1. You have seen a suggestion in some ol the newspapers, that Congress should pass the appropriation bills, and then to home. But even with that formality the President and Secretary of the Treasury might dis pense. They hold the money. Why not use h, wiujoui an apprupnuwunr uuy rest have no control over it. Suppose they wars to order it placed in the U. States' Hank, would not the President disobey the order? He certainly would. What fully, thon, for them to talk of controlling or ap propriating it. Hut there is more in the sug- B0"""" upu ' going nome, u... mecis 1119 0TB- "uum uim, "' to inform you that the Kitchen Cabinet have a scheme for shortening the session, iou will guess where it originated, when I state the project. By the Constitution, the President may prorogue Conirress, when the two Mouses cannot agree on the day of sojournment. wow, those silly loons are alarmed at the accounts they daily receive, and, therefore, wish an adjournment at as early a day as possible, and intend, if they can, to have the appropriation bills pasted, and then, while they yet have a majority, to get the House to fix a day of adjournment; and if tho Senato disagree, let Gen. Jackson exercise his kingly prerogative of prorogation. Such is the project. The President may, or may not, be ignorant of it. It cannot succeod. The tools of pow-may deny this statement; but it is truo. I give you, what I am not in the habit of giving, an on dit, without having direct authority for its correctness; but I believe it to bo true. It is said that a Western gentleman, in a conversation with the President, remarked "General, I fear your Cabinet does not afford you a suitable support." Ho replied, "No; thoreis Woodbury, he thinks of nothing but taking care of himself. Ho is dead weight upon me, And as to McLane and Cass, they would rather embarrass than promote my operations." "But why don'l you remove them?" It would not answer, at present, said he; and l hoy will not resign, for I have hinted it to them." I repeat this rumor, because I beliovo it, and because I know it has been repeated to ono, and probably to all three of the Secretaries named. Of this fact you may rest assured, the President and the Cabinet irresponsible, r deadly hostile to the Cabinet responsible. If the times were not as portentous as they really are, there would be a complete breaking up. Situated, however, as the party is, they dare not move. They aro losing ground, (and they know it,) not only here, but throughout the nation. Before this session closes, the Executive will be in a minority in both branches of Congress. They commenced the session with a party majority of from fifty-five to sixty, in the House of Representatives. Where are they now? They have a majority, sometimes, of from ten to fifteen, and frequently are defeated. The Chan cellor of the Exchequer ( Mr Polk) will bear mo out in mis remark. In my letter of the 30th ult. I stated the Vice President had suggested, that the House of Representatives should continue the discussion on the deposit question, not only all day, but in the evenings also. The attempt has been unsuccessfully mado. No debate in Congress, sinco the adoption of the constitution, has been so disastrous to a party as the pending debato to the usurpers of power, and the oppressors of the community. These discussions are revolutionizing tho whole nation. We aro a reading and a thinking people. Cut a few months since wo wore tranquil. We were prosperous. Our land was a land flowing with milk and honey. Our mechanics and laborers found constant employment. In the bosom of their families they enjiyed the fruits of their industry . Comfort and abundance were the blessings which a kind Providence showered down upon them, But, "happiness unalloyed belongs not to man." VVhat is now the picture that might bo drawn? What has produced this sad reverse in the concerns of our country and the enjoyments of our people? It is the gripe (like the gripe of death) of the office holder. The fear of losing place, and power, and emolument, has covered the land with distress and misery. All feel the difficulties which surround us, but the of fice-holder. He battens upon the Treasury and revels on the spoils of the pcoplo. Mark his swagger as he pssses tho unemployed lax payer, who feeds and supports him. I will not delineate the accne. My soul sickens at the' thought. Tub Spy in Washinoton. No. XXXI. Washinoton, D.C., Feb. 12, 1834. Monday, the Senate was engaged lor about three hours on Executive business. The case of the Government Directors of tho United States' Dank was again taken up, but no decision had thoreon. In consequence of the sudden death of Judiro Boul- din of tho House, who will be interred tomorrow, the business of tho Scr.ato was suspended. But for this circumstance, I think the final question on theso directors would have been taken, and thoir nomina tion rejected. The Philadelphia committee, yesterday had an interview with the President. Ho took precisely the same ground he had ta ken with the JN. York committee of .nor chants. Ho talked of "Spanish inquisi lions: threatened to fly to "the deserts of Arabia;' declared that Mr llidille, in war with fio Government, should "have the knife up to tho handle," &c. He said, that tho Bank could, il it chose, extend its loans twenty-five millions of dollars. That it was his settled determination to establish a currency consisting of State Bank notes. That if this experiment failed, he would havo nothing but specie. The Baltimore Committee was with the President to-day, end received precisely the same answer. There is, However, much fluttering in the ranks of his adherents; and they aro only kept together, in the House, hv the "parly organization according to the Now York school." it cannot last, t he treason in the ranks of the Kitchen Cabinet is so general, that they dare not trust each other. At present, however, I see no relief for the community. But tho voice of the peoplo is hoard, and is producing anedect, Felix trembles on his throne. Tho Socretary of the Treasury has be fore him a statement of tho affairs ol the Bank up to the 1st instant. It is, to him, and Kendall & Co. as wormwood and gall. To the stockholders of that institution it pro-sonls a must cheering and gratifying viow. Its circulation was greater on the 1st of February inst., than on tlio 1st ol January last. Presont circulation, 10,G:,000 Total doposils, 10,030,000 Duo by Slate Hanks, 3,2iu,U00 Funds in Europe, l,5,r0,lHH Specie in vaults, 10,540,000 15,390,000 14,01)0,01)0 Thus it appears, that tha circulation of the Bank, notwithstanding tha pressure ot the times, continues to grow larger. The local Banks are falling in its debt. They now owe it throo millions two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Il is the only institution in the nation in which public confidence not only remains undiminished, but has increased. It is the only institution that can withstand the shock that is rapidly approaching. Let those who are interested in the result prepare to meol the tempest. The Srr in Washinoton. No. XXXII.

They called upon the President, this morning, unaccompanied by mem- Dors oi congress. The scene was such as I anticipated, if thov dared to perform their duty. They were received in an uncourte-ous manner. They introduced each other to Gen. Jackson. After tho ceremony he sat down, and commenced signing papers, without further notice of them. Having completed that business, ho broke open a letter and read it. He had broken open a second letter, ond wos about to read it, when hey addressed him and referred to the ob ject of their mission. Ho soon beenmo ex- citod, and told them lo apply to JVicholus Middle. They replied, that Mr Biddle said, ho was acting in conformity with Genoral Jackson's recommendations to wind up the nunK. ite uemanded, vohemontly, "did I recomnend to him to withdraw thSrla. five million of dollars from the valley of me Mississippi? Did I recommend to hnn to corrupt the morals of the people? What do you come to me for? I have already had visits from one, two, lime, fiat, and you are tho eighth cominitteo. Am I to be pestered in this woy by coinmitteo after committee calling upon me?" They attempted to reason with him, and to explain the sufferings of their fellow mechanics, as well as the cause of those sufferings. They endeavored respectfully, to show him mat ne Had not acted in conlormity with tho law of the land. At lenglli lie became so infuriated, that they left him. During the interview, several gentlomen came in, and remained. I have reason to believe that this Committee will present a detailed report of the whole scene. If they do, it cannot fail to elevate them, and those whom they represent, in tho estimation of every independent man in our country. Whether such a report will add to the fame of Gen. Jackson, or be reputable to our national character, is a questionable matter. It is, however, their duty to give a true and faithful account of their stew ardship. lho Honorable, and not less honorable than bland and courfcouj Mr Forsyth said, in me Donate to-day, that these petitions were signed by "drunken, pot-house politicians." Thus much for petitioning. I will add, for the benefit of Mr Forsyth, that few, or none of them, are paupers, living upon Treasury pap, without which they would become "miserable" starvelings. It is impossible to depict the deep anxiety which pervades every clan of society throughout the nation. This city in now a common foens, where center the pe ilions, tne prayers and groans ot a sultering people. Washington is crowded with strangers from every quarter. All utter their com plaints. Some in half smothered tones of despondency. Others in curses and imprecations loud and long. The mails are weighed down with letters, detailing tho scenes of ruin, by which the writers are surrounded on every side. The minions of power havo no longer tho hardihood to deny thrt there s on unprecedented pressure up in the mo noy market ; and that we are threatened w ith universal bankruptcy. From the pinnacle of peaceful prosperity, tho usurpers have thrown our people into a state ot distrac Hon; they have uprooted the currency of the country, and presented to our industri ous mechanics, artisans, and laborers, the prospect of idleness, and its alarming concomitants, want and misery. our loiiow citizens continue lo cry aloud from the hill tops and tho valleys. Let them assemble in their towns and their counties. Lot them send hither their re solutions, expressed in firm but respectful language. Let them be borne by commit toes. Locking arms, let Ihem stand shoulder to shoulder to meet the shock. At the altar of their violated constitution, let them surrender those party foclings, which loo oitcn separate the purest and most patriotic men. In tho hour of poril and danger, uniting as a "band of brothers," let them resolve to sustain in power none but such as are willing to restore tranquility to the country, and employment to tlio industrious and enterprising. Efforts, like these, may yet rescue us from impending destruc tion, l ho conspirators are appalled. Con sternation reigns in the Kitchen Cabinet. .il any upright and honorable men in Congress have paused. TJiey have supported the administration from the best motive. Th"y have been mistaken in the effect which the removal of tho deposits was cal culated to produce, and thoy are now dis posed to examine the real situation of tho country, before they take another step. The pride of opinion is difficult lo overcount. But there are yet hopes, if the pco plo riso en masse, and snnounco their do. termination not to submit to the doctrines of "passive obedienco and nun resistance." Almost daily 1 receive new ovidouco of the fact, that this nation will not much longer be governed by an irresponsible Cabinet of hungry oifice holders and expectants. There is, at this moment, a decided, if not a large majority, in Congress, that condemns tho removal of the deposits. But many of them fool committed by their former acts; and others, as those of your Stalo, aro pledged to support every measure ol the Executive, right or wrong. Circumstances liko those, prevent Un) parly from being rent in twain. How long will these men be thus bound together? Mow long will they, unmoved, witness tho suf ferings of a much abused people? Theso aro interesting questions. They should be toarlcssly answered. The patriotic and the honest aro faulteriug. The sellish and mercenary will cling to the Exccutivo, un til the voice of tho people shall nnko them tremble for their places and no longer. Again then, I say, lot that voico bo heard in this cily, ns tho only hope of relief du ring tho existenco of tho presont adininis tration. That honorable members of Congress, in the ranks of the Jackson party, becoming disgusted with those who have, and who yet control the destinies of the nation is within my knowledge. I could give you a dozen anecdotes illustrative of this o l. Lot one lutuoe. A tew evening since, several gentlemen, at the lodgings of a distinguished member, on Pennsylvania Avenue, held a general conversation in ref erence to men and measures, and the as pect of public affairs. Said one of them 1 am unable to imagino how Mr Van Un ren over acquired the tillo of Musician," &c. Another replied "Nor am 1; he has brought upon us dilhculties from which we can never escape, and which threatens ruin to the whole of us;" and then followed denunciations nnd anathemas against Iho magician. I think I may venture to say, that both Speaker Stevenson and the honorable Mr Speight, of North Carolina, must have heard rumors of such a conver sation. I slato it to you, for the purpose of showing the feelings that pervade the oosoms ot what is considered tho most orthodox among the orthodox. The Srr ir Washington. No. XXKI1I. Washinoton, D. C, Feb. lGth, 1934. This City is filled with rumors. Accor ding to thete rumors tho present Cabinet ii broken up, and a new one organized, or to be organized, forthwith. It il mid Unit Mr .U'Lnno has actually resigned ; nnd that Go vernor Cass will resign in u fen days. That .Ur Kives, having received instructions from tho Virginia Legislature, to vote for a re turn of the puhlio deposits lo tho Bank ol' the United Stales, rfml beinc unwilling to obey them, will resign his tent In the Semite, nnd be called to tlio State department. These, nnd other rumors of a similar character, ore Hunting in every quarter of tho City, and nppeur to be generally believed. I perceivo that the New York and Philadel phia, papers, spenk of the rosignntinn of air iU'liiiiie, in having tuken place. It u not trim. The Secretary of State has not resigned. lint, you may ask, will be resign? In re plying to this question, I will give you, brielly, my speculations on the existing state of things in Washington. To do this un- derstundingly, I must make soiuo prelimi nary remarks. I rom an intimate mid perfect knowledge of tlio character of lien. Juckson, and of those by whom he ia sur rounded and influenced, hazard but lit tle iu saying, that he never has had, or never can or will hnve a Cabinet, composed of bigh-miudvd and honorable men, with whom ho can remain ut pence nx months. Why not) Uecniisc, he is under the control of the most violent passions, equalled only by bis puerile and unbounded vanity. Because, his prejudices aro ungovernable, and easily called into action, by fawning, uud llattcry, and sycophancy. Dccnusc, hit Ca binet irresponsible is composed of profligato and sellish characters, who know his weak ness; and ministering to his vanity, lake advantage of the feebleness of ago, nnd tbat imbecility which has been produceil by time, in its steady and certain course; mul because, Ihese pumlcn and cormorants, us long us they continue to hold power, will, through the medium of their nightly visits at the palace, "stub under the nllh rib," every independent nnd upright counsellor, that attempts, with more than ordinary zeal, to rescue tha l'rosidont from impending ruin ; or to frcu him from those toils which have been thrown around him, by bad and wicked men. The history of the pas', affords nu unerring guido as to what may be anticipated iu future. Secretary alter Secretary bus been Iriven from the Cabinet by the unseen ma- gic of intrigants. These Secretaries could preserve their stations only by a sacrifice ul their integrity mid their principles. In their retirement, they have been pursued in a most malignant nnd remorseless manner. Thcirgood name and their reputation black ened and tarnished by the corrupt hirelings ol more corrupt managers. Will Mr M'Lune resign! In reply, after the picture I have drawn, may I not ink how can he remain in the Cabinet I 'Unit he will resign, if ho is not expelled, I con sider certain. But the period of time is uncertain. It may not take place fur six mouths ; it may take place in u week. Let me suppose n ouso. In my letter of the 3d of December last, I stated that Mr Tuney hnd called on tho President with a list of Stnto Banks, and said, "Sir, here is a list ol Banks, iu which Mr Kendall says wo had hotter deposit the public money." Now, whenever it shall be required of .Mr M'Lnne, to carry n message, in reference to too ma nagement of bis own department, from Mr Kendall to tho President, ha will resign. Whenever it shall bo expected of the Se cretary of Slate, so far lo degrndo himself and tho high station which he holds, us to iibey the instructions of Mr Kendall, ho will resign, thus, thon, in my opinion, his re signation will depend upon the quantum of indignity that is attempted to be heaped upon him. And I repeat what I have said n a former letter, that in the present state of the party, thoy dnro not dismiss him I and are unprepared to render thuir indignities in gross that ho can no longer remain. Of Governor Cats I sny nothing, bee a uso his lay willcouio after Mr M'Lauo't. In respect lo Mr Hives, 1 have lining loiihts. I do not bolievn that he will obey his instructions; because Hint would forever blast his hopes nnd prospects with the Pre sident. I do not believo he will resign, (and yet he may,) because, by creating n vacancy in tho Senato, he would render it certain that hit successor would bu tlliti-Jackson, or rather anti-Van Duren; and that would offend the Exeoutive, and mor tify tho Vice l'rosidont, who wi'hcs to bear nothing moro from Virgimii tint semen. On the whole, I am ns skeptical now, about immediate changes in tho Cabinet, at I havo long been about Mr Stevenson going to I'.nghiud, or the Hon. Mr Sutherland ever yet ever, being Speaker of the llou'O ol Itnpreseutnlives. lly these remarks 1 urn not to be understood ul believing that the Cabinet call ho kept together, Not to. Mr Tuney il the only member of it for whom tho President hat the leat retpect, lie will hurl tha others Irom their louts, il they do not resign, ut loon us his advisers recommend tha measure. Nothing hut fear prevents ill being dono to-morrow. The Judiciary committee ul the Somite, I am informed, hnve agreed upon it report oil the message from the President, respect ing tho U.mk't refuting to surrender the puimuii fund. That oomiuilteo coutiilt of live able luwyori. Thoy have made u critical exaniiuation of all the legal poiuti in the case; and have gone at great length, into ill details. It is laid that they are unanimously of the opinion, that thu Bank bai aoted U cqn,foroiity with the iasy. Thu report will, probably, be presented to the nciiatc, on Weduoiilny or ihursday. It ii with pain that I closo this letter by stating, that Mr Wirt is extremely ill, and not expected to live. The Srr m Washington. No. XXXIV. Washington, D. C Feb. 19, 1831. After much drilling, the dominant party havo succeeded, by a majority of fuur votes, in bringing into operation the "-gag lata.' That succc s, however, is not unalloyed It presents a viow of their power and inllii ence in the House, of an alarming character. It proves that they have lost nearly the whole of their late overwhelming majority ; nt least so lar as it respects their "organization according to the New York School." And however much they may exult, on the vote of reference, you may rest assured that tho Kitchen Cabinet feel tint they have been defeated. The House consists of two hundred and forty members. There nre five vacancies, viz: two in Massachusetts, ono in Louisiana, one in Virginia, and one in Kentucky. There were six absentees, viz: Mr Camp bell of South Carolina, Air Stuart and Mr Anthony of Pennsylvania,' Mr Loo of New Jorsoy, Mr Ellsworth of Conneticut, and Mr Hates ol .Massachusetts. Had the va cancies been filled, and all present, ten of the eleven w.iuld havo voted against the previous question, and one for it: conse quently, the veto would havo been ayes, 1 17, noes 1'-'-'. 1 bus, instead ol an administration majority uffour, there would have been an anti-administration majority on this quostion, of five. The politic il diameter of tho absentees is a commentary on the drill system. Un all trying questions, the drill sergeants aro on the scout, and I lie troops aro all brought up to the vote. Not so with the opposition. Whatovor maybe the number of absentees on a party vote, you must always calculate at least two ol theirs to one of tho administration parly. I regret to notico the proceedings of yes terday, in another point of view. Hut 1 havo heard so much said on the subject, and Btich general dissatisfaction expressed, respecting the conduct ot the Speaker, that I feel it to bo my duty to notice it. Fur several days past, it was known that Tues day was hxed upon as a day to call the previous question, It was, thcrclore known, that a great elfort would be made, by thoso who wish to speak, to obtain the floor. At ono o'clock the chair announced that the House would proceod to the order of the day; whereupon, ten or more gentlemen arose. Tho Spcakor, without staling the pending question to tho House, decided that Mr .iluhlcnbiirg was entitled to the floor. INow, this precipitate decision, combined with o- llier circumstances, has led many to tlio conclusion, that the Speaker was advised that Mr Muhlciibiirg would movo the previous question; and that knowing this fact, he had entered into an arrangement with his political friends, to givo tho ttoor to this gentleman, for the express purpose ot having him make that motion. Whether there is any foundation for this opinion I know not. It is abroad, howovcr, and gaining ground. I hopo il may be contradicted by Mr Stevenson. ' If it is unfounded, ho owes it lo his own character, to say that it is unfounded. A itatoincnt from him, declaring that ho had no knowledge that the previous question was lo be moved; or if ho hail, that he entertained no suspicion that Mr Muhlcnburg was to make tho motion; will be confided in, and ho will thus shield himself from a charge of gross partiality. You will perceive, that if tho suggestions against .Mr Stevenson are well founded, ho has sacrificed his independence and hi impartiality, as the presiding officer of.tho House ol llcprueentatives. Il ho can bo induced, for political purposes, toenter into an intrigue, as Speaker, to deprive his opponents of the chanco of speaking, on a great and important niiestiou, what security havo they, or tho House, that he may not pursue the same policy on every occasion, and thus pervert, il not prostitute, tlio lugii station which he holds, to tho worst ol purposes! I am unwilling to credit theso auspicious; but silcnco on the part of Mr Stevenson, will confirm many in the opinion that they are correct. It will altord mo great pleas ure to aid in freeing him Irom imputation. I will not, however, permit the subject tu rest. In due season 1 will notice n again. On referring the letter of tho Secretary of tho Treasury to tha committee of Way and Means, thuro was a majority of thirty-two, and some of tho ignorant and credulous, pretend to consider this a test of tho strength of tho party, on Ihe removal of tho deposits. This is not truo. Hut let it be admitted that this is a true test, and thon thoy will receivo such evidence, on the final vote, of a loss uf strength, as will astound them. The committee of Ways and .Means will report a resolution approving ol'lho re moval of tho public deposits, Will there bo a majority of thirty -two in favor of that resolution! No; nor ten. n my lottor of thu 3Slh of Docoinber last, 1 said 1 havo herololoro Biipposeu, and ao slated, that tlio House of llotiroscn tatives would sustain the President, in tho removal of the deposits, by a majority ot at least twenty-uvui. but 1 am compelled lo change my opinion. The dissatisfaction in thu ranks of the administration parly, is extending itself so rapidly, that I do not believe, on tha final vole, the majority will exceed ten or twelve. This estimate wus mado, of course, upon a full House; and I am now prepurcu to repeat, wnu enure confidence, tlio opinion above expressed, nearly two mouths since. HIS Bl'V IN V ASIUNOTON.
